Abstract
A method of determining whether a sprite will be generated determines a probability of a first page module being displayed on a web page together with a second page module, and if the probability exceeds a predetermined threshold, generates the sprite based on a first image within the first page module and a second image within the second page module, a rule indicating that the sprite contains the first image and the second image, and a style sheet code associated with the sprite.
